[hazy radish]

ORANGE WHITE AND GREY

[glad hedge]

[hazy radish]

I DID YOU ASKED FOR 2 COLORS

[south ether]

[glad hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/revolution-guillotine-marie-antoinette-off-with-their-heads-behead-gif-12604431

[thorn sand]

Off-white and yellow.

[hazy radish]

Good answer

[muted eagle]

We've been mentioned!

[hazy radish]

ALREADY MENTIONNED IT HERE

HAHAHA !!!

but yes

[muted eagle]

-# Shit

[hazy radish]

HAMMER MENTIONNED

🔨

[muted eagle]

🔨

[glad hedge]

Yellow works. Off-white will be too close to white

[rapid pond]

French

Good luck

If you are gonna die, for the love of all save Warmongerer

You can’t let the cuteness die with you

[hazy radish]

dw he's got plot armor

& i've got a plan

[hazy radish]

...green ?

[thorn sand]

Greige

[hazy radish]

I mean, thinking about cap's name being green.

The guy must like his green right ?

[thorn sand]

Or is it greyge?

Real color I swear.

[hazy radish]

...is it ?

[glad hedge]

Orange, Gray, Yellow, Green, and White it is

[hazy radish]

why 5 colors ? 🤔

isn't uno only 4 colors ?

or is it for the wild cards ?

[glad hedge]

4+1

[glad hedge]

ye

[hazy radish]

aaaahh right

make the wild card white maybe then

pure gut shot

actually, do you need some designing for the uno cards ?

[glad hedge]

Way ahead of you

[hazy radish]

I can get paint.net up and try to modify some uno cards that are on tabletop sim and send 'em to you maybe ?

[glad hedge]

Oh no I am not going that advanced that I am using actual images lol

[hazy radish]

oh ok 🤣

[hazy radish]

my god

the madman's doing it

[muted eagle]

Oh god

[south ether]

well i am not that worried about the factory walkers tbh

[fluid viper]

https://tenor.com/view/willem-dafoe-funny-gimme-a-ride-crazy-gif-179142006880996754

[muted eagle]

I am from my experiences in helldivers 😅

[fluid viper]

I feel left out

[left thistle]

LETS HIJACK IT!!!!!!

[feral ivy]

Not to worry. We will use the Tactical Backpack on it

[south ether]

wel it depends how wel they last against 4 mbts and if the are armed

[left thistle]

Wait where are you lmao?

[fluid viper]

Sitting on the border

1 speed walking engineer

[left thistle]

Oof 😢

[hazy radish]

we'll get you a ride bud

[fierce dirge]

Are we in range to shoot? Can we shoot?

[fluid viper]

Yeah. Shack is doing all movement then he will probably start killing stuff

[south ether]

well tanks are range 2 right

[hazy radish]

yuhuh

[south ether]

so the factory is in range of atleast 3 mbt i think all 4

and don't forget pigmy and lop

[fierce dirge]

Watch the factory walker have range 2 and target the artillery XD

[left thistle]

Well hopefully it’s just a factory

[glad hedge]

Correction: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RaZBl3MjQsaepe5-gFh51CFXvjIhdbUW/view?usp=sharing

[hazy radish]

no

don't tell me you've done it

[glad hedge]

It only took me 5 days

[hazy radish]

okay

how the hell do i install python

is there multiplayer

how the fuck do we play ?

many questions 🤣

[glad hedge]

https://www.python.org/downloads/

[glad hedge]

It has "local" multiplayer. I.e. you need to be sitting in front of the same computer to play lol

Cus essentially how it works is that it shows the hand of the player on their turn and asks them to do their turn and then goes to the next person

[hazy radish]

oo nice

is there AI ? :P

[glad hedge]

There is not

This was really just a project for me to see if I could program UNO in Python lol

[hazy radish]

👏

hehe nice

Okay

I downloaded python

Never used it, how the fuck am I running this uno thing ?

[solar bear]

Good question...

[hazy radish]

...i'm gonna need a tutorial

I've got python, tried drag & dropping the file when i got python launched, pressing enter, nothing happens

...probably a skill issue from my side

[muted eagle]

No, I have the same issue

[hazy radish]

oh!

[muted eagle]

One moment, let me check if it works in visual studio code

[hazy radish]

@glad hedge !

is broken ! D:

[winter dragon]

It works in visual studio code

[muted eagle]

I see the issue

[hazy radish]

fuck you're telling me i installed the wrong thing ????

[muted eagle]

I need to import numpy

Right, so in the python terminal, you're gonna want to type "pip install numpy"

I think

[glad hedge]

Numpy is the only dependency you need to install manually

[muted eagle]

Yeah

[glad hedge]

Awesomesauce, that's what I use as well

[muted eagle]

I really should've had numpy installed earlier tbh

[glad hedge]

Didnt you use its random functionality for ARMCOmon?

[muted eagle]

No

I just used the random module

Though you did have to install the keyboard module for the newest variant

[hazy radish]

uhm

[glad hedge]

Frenchy open a windows powershell and then type pip install numpy

(If any of those words make sense lol)

[hazy radish]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

worse somehow ?

okay, you guys figure out how to play uno armco, i'll, be watching, yeah.

[left thistle]

I’ve just been watching this mbt debate go down in meta-comm lol

Got my popcorn and everything

[glad hedge]

Try this in the console: py -m ensurepip --upgrade

[hazy radish]

Blueshell still ?

[hazy radish]

It was interesting at first honnestly

then it went in circles

and now tigrium sparked the shack fire

[glad hedge]

Yup

[south ether]

well time for thinking, how many hits to you guys think a factory walkers has

[hazy radish]

...i have absolutely no idea what i'm doing

[hazy radish]

5 ?

wild shot here

[south ether]

and how much armor

[glad hedge]

Wha
Try pip install numpy again?
If that doesnt work, restart your PC maybe

[south ether]

because i think the change is decent that factory walker is gonna get killed this turn

[hazy radish]

nope

[winter dragon]

1 or 2

[hazy radish]

is there a way to install numpy other then saying in the console "HEY BITCH INSTALL NUMPY" ?

Like a .rar or a folder somewhere ?

[glad hedge]

Numpy isnt really a programme, it's just a bunch of functions really so it doesnt have a .exe

[left thistle]

I just hope the factory walkers don’t have any weapons installed

[south ether]

hmm so asuming all four mbt get an hit in it leaves the walker at 1 or 2, meaning one lm needs to hit to to kill it

[glad hedge]

Try this: py -m pip install numpy

[left thistle]

tends to be the problem with arguments online

[hazy radish]

WIN !!!!!!!!!!

[left thistle]

Probably? It could be more fragile for all we know. But getting one of those off the board before it starts producing whatever would be great

[glad hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/pogchamp-pog-pogey-poggers-twitch-gif-14340727

[hazy radish]

Okay and now...

I throw this python script in the python console...

[south ether]

so we have two ifv and three inf to that can shoot at the 10fs of bots, and 4 mbts and 2 lm atleast that prob will shoot at the walker?

[hazy radish]

https://tenor.com/view/bang-head-on-table-gif-5187162

...we'll... debug in dms...

[glad hedge]

Thats not how it works frenchy lol

[hazy radish]

this has taken too much of iron hammer comms

[muted eagle]

You gotta download the .py file

[hazy radish]

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT WORKS I'VE NEVER TOUCHED A PYTHON SCRIPT IN MY LIFE 🤣

[muted eagle]

And then open it

[hazy radish]

the 2 lms might not have the range i think

but yeah that's a fair assessment

[left thistle]

The ifvs can’t shoot this round bc they’re rushing, and idk if shack will count the other two inf as in range

[hazy radish]

it works, it works, it works, finally.

[south ether]

what i mean rabbits lms

[rapid pond]

Being real I think Shack’ll do LoS

[south ether]

kilo and crown should be in range

[rapid pond]

I ain’t your people but in terms of where the inf are

there are houses blocking direct LoS

[hazy radish]

...

I'm taking it, fuck it

that works enough

i'm not arsed enough to debug this more 🤣

[muted eagle]

Oh god, it looks so much better in VSC

[glad hedge]

Oh lord why are the colors not working lol

[hazy radish]

I WAS TOLD TO DOWNLOAD PYTHOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN

😭

[left thistle]

We’ll see, I think all of us are occupying buildings, and he didn’t mark those as cover so he might just run it normally

[hazy radish]

Oh, right.

[rapid pond]

Crown, if we;re counting the house in front of Kilo, should be the only one to fire

[south ether]

i don't see a house in font of kilo

[rapid pond]

I mean… how many towns have the exact same style of house everywhere

[south ether]

kilo should have los on the bots

[rapid pond]

That’s either a shed/house or a weird ass rock

[hazy radish]

weird ass rock, probably

[left thistle]

I think because he didn’t mark them as LOS breaking like he did in elim, he might just run it normally

[south ether]

it can fire past it and hit the 6fs

[rapid pond]

Btw I don’t mean Diaza, that’s a machine fit for service

[hazy radish]

OH AND THOSES ARE INDEED ENNEMY INFANTRY BOTS

OOOOOOOOOOOH LETS WIPE THE FLOOR WITH EM

[muted eagle]

I love opening PDFs in VSC

[left thistle]

MY EYYYYYEEEEEESSSS 😭

[rapid pond]

WHAT DO THE NUMBERS MEAN SERGEANT?

[left thistle]

Plz shoot the factory walkers French 🥺

[hazy radish]

ok let's wipe the floor with the factory walkers

or, whatever comes

i'm not the one to decide who we're firing on

[muted eagle]

Free watermelons for whoever shoots down a factory walker

[rapid pond]

Tbh, you should’ve asked French if the buildings (2d) would be considered blocking LoS

[glad hedge]

You can install an extension where it does render it, if you're not just joking around lol

[left thistle]

True true 😂

[muted eagle]

-# Ignore that everyone gets free watermelons anyway

[left thistle]

Wait… wrong melon

[muted eagle]

Oh I know

[rapid pond]

Wait wouldn’t they be ice melons?

We’re on a bloody artic world, at this rate watermelons should be frozen

[muted eagle]

You clearly have shoddy watermelons :p

[south ether]

well the vtol is warm

[hazy radish]

~~so are you ~~

[rapid pond]

Well my guy doesn’t even know what a watermelon is

[south ether]

yay more midrounds

[hazy radish]

yay !

[south ether]

quick hide the cards, it is go time

[hazy radish]

yup!

[south ether]

wel storm has had it lucky this round

[hazy radish]

peace in our time :D

[left thistle]

Inb4 it’s a bunch of disguised bots

Like that one clone wars episode 👀

[south ether]

do not quote chamberlain, we all know how that ended

[left thistle]

Ooooooh it’s looking more promising now

[south ether]

yes

so current frontlines is hill mine cross roads C-Z

[hazy radish]

yup!

[south ether]

nav l-w2

everything to the left save, erverything else death and despair

[hazy radish]

yup.

[south ether]

thats about a 50/50 board state ins't it?

[hazy radish]

yup.

more like 55/45, roughly

[south ether]

not that bad

[rough granite]

is there a map that shows what is every we can see

[south ether]

not yet after midrounds

[hazy radish]

yup, let's be patient !

[south ether]

and we have an airport

[hazy radish]

noice !

good shit

[rigid oar]

So factory walkers huh?

[hazy radish]

yup

they be walkin'

[feral ivy]

major deployment of troops by shovels and 212th

[thorn sand]

So a factory of the walker, or a walker of the factory?

[rapid pond]

It’s a factory what is a walker

[thorn sand]

A walker of the factory then.

[steady zephyr]

Soooo where do you want the casino?

[hazy radish]

good question

@muted eagle

she's the one to know about that

[muted eagle]

Are we actually going to try make a casino?

I thought that was just us joking around

[hazy radish]

Honnestly that'd be based as fuck if we made a casino

...how, is another question.

[steady zephyr]

hands out card
BEARDS Construction for specialized needs

[hazy radish]

...time to make cap' explode his mind when he reads "A CASINO BUILDING ???" for turn 7

[thorn sand]

Take the factory walker, remove the factory, install gamble.

[hazy radish]

y e s

[onyx basalt]

Casino Walker?!

[thorn sand]

Real question is what we’ll call it.

[steady zephyr]

It would only be part of RP or if I really have nothing to do

[hazy radish]

aw, dang

[steady zephyr]

Build a secret Lab on Lussan for example

[fluid viper]

I am ready to dedicate my entire efforts in this BG to making Howls Walking Casino happen.

[fluid viper]

We can call it Operation Calcifer

[solar bear]

I'm doing something...

[dim plaza]

Do we still have Infanterie hanging back that need a lift are is that taken care of ?

[south ether]

An infantry and medic

[hazy radish]

One engi, one medic, and one infantry if he wakes up

[south ether]

O right missed the engi

[hazy radish]

...jeez, a bit early for orders opening @muted eagle don't you think ? 🤣

[muted eagle]

I was bored

[hazy radish]

Wow... How bored are you ?

[muted eagle]

Quite bored, waiting for my chemistry lesson

[hazy radish]

damn

and we here have not much planning or stuff to do

oh wait, actually

Just for funnsies.

[muted eagle]

We have plenty of stuff to do, we have a crssroads to secure :p

[muted eagle]

The dice says 4

[hazy radish]

Always with the dice aren't you ? 🤣

[muted eagle]

Ofcourse

My callsign isn't "Dice" for nothing

[hazy radish]

god dang

[glad hedge]

Not a single BG:

Iron Hammer when nothing is happening:
pineapple

[fluid viper]

We don't even know if we are all alive lmao

[rapid pond]

This is one of those “Please signify if you are dead” moments

[eager carbon]

whats the plan now boss

[hazy radish]

w-we take crossroads, yeah ?

[muted eagle]

Nah, I think we turn around and go back to Elim

[eager carbon]

sounds good to me

[hazy radish]

'swear to god Vivian, this is why we had Edited for the plans !

[kind storm]

Hey, question: Do you peeps have any ability to get eyes on that convoy on the east side of town? Rabbit scouts are a bit tied up for a while.

[muted eagle]

Though in all seriousness, I think we need to focus on the factories

[muted eagle]

Well we have two light mechs but that's about it...

Unless ADE is feeling particularly suicidal and transports me all the way over there

[kind storm]

@muted eagle fair enough, thanks for the info

[muted eagle]

@south ether your thoughts?

Surely nothing could go wrong with sending a medic and a VTOL to scout

[hazy radish]

everything

[hazy radish]

and confirm, we... aren't scouty boys.

[south ether]

Well midrounds aren't done yet so who knows what we have

Wait midrounds have started again

[hazy radish]

yuhuh.

I mean, what's "east side of town" for you @kind storm ?

cuz I know our light mechs are here (hewwo)

[muted eagle]

This maybe?

[kind storm]

Yes, that

Sorry, I'm technically supposed to be working

[muted eagle]

As much as I like gambling, it's gonna have to be a no for me, though maybe our mechs would be more willing

[hazy radish]

that... looks pretty far & cut away from allied lines...

[muted eagle]

I'm sure our mechs will be fine

[hazy radish]

meh, not too hot on it either

if they're willing sure, but this seems like death in a 3 step plan

step 1: cut yourself off from allies
step 2: "hey we got the recon data !"
step 3: "wait, why are they all around us now ?"

[gentle trench]

Not too many contacts back there

They’re about to be very occupied with us

[muted eagle]

Yeah, they'll be going through a place without much stuff, and they'll probably be more worried about rabbits and the rest of iron hammer than those two mechs

Since we're a turn away from both rabbits and iron hammers from slamming right into them

[south ether]

Rather have the clean up 4117

[kind storm]

I'd like the info but don't get yourselves killed. I leave it to your judgement.

[muted eagle]

Ok, maybe rabbits are there already

But you get what I'm saying I'm sure

[south ether]

But need to finish this round first

[hazy radish]

ye

[muted eagle]

Yeah

[hazy radish]

adelbert's right

[muted eagle]

But I'm bored :p

[hazy radish]

I know Venator are so EAGER for planning they stitched themselves a map with the midrounds according from #meta-comm

Like jesus we haven't even gotten combat rolls that you're planning stuff already 🤣

[south ether]

Yay reason, wait organisations booga hammer smash smash

[kind storm]

I'm in the Rabbit eastern scout group. I was hoping to get a look at it on our end, but we'll most likely get tied up clearing out 4120.

[gentle trench]

A lot of the stuff they plan might be very irrelevant very fast lol

[hazy radish]

Will be* xD

[hazy radish]

Yeah... Downsides of being fast, is that you also get into combat REAL FAST 😅

[muted eagle]

Not to mention those things that seem to be coming up from C-Z

[south ether]

Those things should be the same as these three things that are targeting shovels

[fluid viper]

I would rather just ping an Atlas guy to scan it from orbitals

[hazy radish]

yeah, seems less risky

[fluid viper]

Also if is almost certainly a transport.

[muted eagle]

I was just looking through the spreadsheet for unit upgrades and noticed... Mechs can get heavy drop pods and a mech bay

But not the mech doors

[fluid viper]

Ok Atlas may be dipping to help Venator.

[left thistle]

They could still scan on their way out

But up to them

Good that we pushed up so quickly tho we have somewhat of a cohesive front atm

[rigid oar]

So are we going to risk infantry moving up with the factory walker so close? Also good morning iron hammer! (Even though it’s almost afternoon for me)

[south ether]

We dont know yet, the factory could very well be a flaming wreck

[hazy radish]

yup

phalanx is arguing for us to go defensive

I disagree, because we need to knock them factories down

but we'll see

[rigid oar]

Ah did someone else strike them while i was gone or did he just word it in a way that they might be destroyed?

[south ether]

It depends on the combat midrounds

[rigid oar]

Ah ok cool.

[south ether]

There hasn't been any yet

[rigid oar]

So i guess we should make rough plans for both outcomes. In all honesty if that thing is still up i dont know how much moving up with infantry squads will help. If it DOES go down then im all for pushing forward to try to shut down the rest of the factories as soon as we can.

[hazy radish]

Hm, that seems legit

[rigid oar]

The other thing I am worried about is out pacing our armor as our tanks are still in the mountains.

[hazy radish]

nah, no risk

[south ether]

Meh the infantry need to leg it

[hazy radish]

2 range for attack
2 speed

we're good

if anything, we're the ones supposed to outpace the infantry xD

[south ether]

Yes the infantry has 0 move if they get in ifv and get dropped in the next building

[hazy radish]

technically they get .25 movement

...still not much tho

[left thistle]

Inf at most would probs only push into the next cluster of buildings at 3918

[rigid oar]

Yeah thats what im saying.

[left thistle]

Which I would be totally okay with, so long as the bots there are dead

[rigid oar]

Definantly not comfortable with double timing into a bunch of threats we cant shoot back at.

[south ether]

Looks like fluffy did get damage rounds with movement

[left thistle]

And the factory walker doesn’t have huge guns on it lol

[rigid oar]

And that's only if we can get rid of the walker.

[rigid oar]

Do we know its stats?

[left thistle]

Im fine with pushing up on the walker if it doesn’t have guns tbh

[left thistle]

Nope, we’ll find out once he resolves our damage rounds

[rigid oar]

Yeah so until we know more we have no idea whats in that thing.

It could have the INF Mulcher 5000 on it for all i know

[south ether]

Double power aa guns 😵‍💫

[left thistle]

I’m assuming it’s going to start pumping out units immediately, hence going defensive doesn’t seem like that good of an idea

[rigid oar]

Just destroy this unit in particular type of guns

[left thistle]

Stay to the back

[hazy radish]

Don't be careless now...

[rigid oar]

If we dig in in the buildings we would be able to create a good defensive line and shut down anything it produces in time for the tanks to wipe it off the face of the planet

[south ether]

If they are still range 2 I can plan around them if the map is complete

[rigid oar]

Also IDK I doubt Shack made it a push over that a few infantry squads without AP could destroy

Plus a couple of IFV's

I mean wasnt he hoping this campaign had a few more causalties?

[left thistle]

For sure, we also have phalanx coming in behind us right?

So we’ll get a massive influx of infantry that should be able to get into the fight in a turn or two

[south ether]

I probably drop dice at the village at fly back to pickup someone to shuttle forwards

[hazy radish]

Like our engi or medic ?

[south ether]

Yes

[hazy radish]

neat.

[south ether]

Cant drag both of them onboard

[hazy radish]

that's why I said "or" :P

[south ether]

Just kill of 2 fs and i can 🙄

[solar bear]

I can go to the back to grab the other one if needed...

[hazy radish]

our dedicated taxi strikes again

[solar bear]

tbh I grabbed the autocannon upgrade because of that... I usually ferrying units around, this way I can still help from afar if I not rushing...

[hazy radish]

could also ask one of our vtols tbh

they got more movement

[solar bear]

If they can do it, yes that is a better option...

[south ether]

i think vtols should shuttle and we can all start shutling phalanx? after if it is really a slogfest

i think arty should focusfire on aa or arty

if i survive this it is gonna be repelinggear and as much sierra missles as i can fit on the vtol

[south ether]

midrounds at crossroads started

[hazy radish]

O

right as i'm making food nooo

[south ether]

o7 rabbit vtol is down

[hazy radish]

thoses AAs are bloody good shots

[south ether]

yea but what are the range they have?

[solar bear]

I don't know... All units that got shot are almost kissing the AA...

[winter dragon]

Around 2 grids

[south ether]

so about the same as our stuff, that is workable

[winter dragon]

yeah

[muted eagle]

Ngl, at first I mistook "Draken" as "Draketa" (Edited's unit) and thought Edited got killed 😅

[hazy radish]

Depends no ?

[solar bear]

Me too kkk

[left thistle]

Looking more like this is going to become a slog at crossroads huh?

[hazy radish]

Yup

Rabbit's fast, but not strong.

[muted eagle]

Yeah, hopefully we're strong enough to support them

[left thistle]

12 HITS ?!?????

Holy moly

[solar bear]

12 HITS... 12 HITS

[hazy radish]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND WE LOST THE BETS

[south ether]

12 ouch

[hazy radish]

CHRIST 12 HITS

[left thistle]

They scouted well, now it’s def time for them to pull back

[muted eagle]

Holy shit, 12 hits wasn't even in the vote!

[hazy radish]

We were more close to 5-6...

[south ether]

i voted 6 and its double yikes

[left thistle]

Hey guys… let’s wait for phalanx to get here yeah?

I voted 1 lmao

[south ether]

no you see we load up and go to hill mine

[hazy radish]

Let's see the results of the match before we call it dead now

[solar bear]

I hink the MBTs have A LOT of work to do...

[south ether]

if the mbt get 4 hits

we may have it next turn

[left thistle]

Hopefully he hasn’t counted our mbts yet and those two hits were from rabbit and maybe shovel?

[gentle trench]

LOL

Speaking of

[gentle trench]

good timing my good man

[left thistle]

Yep hadn’t counted us yet

[muted eagle]

Hold up

When did our ODT get a 6th guy

[left thistle]

Damn rabbit’s quick on the field and in coms 😂

[gentle trench]

Hop hop :)

[left thistle]

I think shack forgot he’s an odt lol

But we take that lmao

[hazy radish]

HOHOHO

WERE THERE !!!

[muted eagle]

IT'S US!

[south ether]

shht don't tell shack

[hazy radish]

I'lll poke shack about it.

[mighty osprey]

how many tanks did yall get

[muted eagle]

4

[mighty osprey]

jesus

[hazy radish]

HOHOOH

@thorn sand

[south ether]

direct fire yes?

[left thistle]

Also all our other inf were magically healed in between elim and crossroads, but who cares we take those 😂

[left thistle]

Hell yes!

[hazy radish]

@thorn sand if you're here, you got a shot if you want

[left thistle]

If r-flag doesn’t get back in time I would def vote for yes, we might be able to kill it in two turns!

[hazy radish]

We cannot decide for him

His unit

not ours

#meta-comm message

Heated vote in meta-comm for the factory walker's callsign meanwhile 🤣

[fluid viper]

Ah I was very wrong on Factory hits.

I guessed 5. I was over half off lmao

12 hit walkers

[rapid pond]

I said max hits ya allowed

which was 8

I wanted the largest number since it seemed a hefty one

[hazy radish]

I guessed 5 as well...

[fluid viper]

I am real happy Rabbit is here to help

[hazy radish]

Honnestly didn't believe it could go beyond 8 so i just put 8 at the maximum

jeez

[hazy radish]

and Phalanx

and flying shovels

and 212th logi

[rapid pond]

And Atlas

[fluid viper]

This is going to be a brawl especially if it spits out squads every turn.

[left thistle]

Atlas is leaving to help victorum sadly

[hazy radish]

good stuff for our mixed BG I feel like.

we got infantry to hold the line
MBTs to fire
plenty of support units & supply

[left thistle]

But yeah phalanx is going to be a huge addition to our heavy fighting strength

[hazy radish]

we can hold this front easily I recon

[hazy radish]

heck yeah it is

[fluid viper]

Yeah. I wonder if we should put an engineer in it see if we can do a demolition kind of roll

[rapid pond]

Okay real question

[left thistle]

Question is… can we clear it?

[hazy radish]

shrugs

[rapid pond]

Do y’all have the supplies to maintain your airfield?

[hazy radish]

If shack is mercifull the Toaster won't have-

NOT OUR AIRFIELD

[rapid pond]

Since if that falls, you might be ruined

[hazy radish]

FUCK OFF TO FLYING SHOVELS

PRICK

🤣

[fluid viper]

They have logi

[hazy radish]

joking sorry

[rapid pond]

Oi it’s our airfield

https://tenor.com/view/meme-our-now-gif-21036569

[hazy radish]

If shack is mercifull the toaster will only spawn units once every 2 turn, which should avoid snowball

if it doesn't, wuhoh, snowball. D:

[fluid viper]

Ours is gonna get pumped into artillery and fixing IFVs this next turn or two I think.

[left thistle]

Looks like that’s the case, since their spooling up a unit this round

[hazy radish]

More seriously, no idea on this

[rapid pond]

French I mean it as if those VTOLs come for your asses

[left thistle]

What’s the cost?

[fluid viper]

They have 2 Logi full I think

[rapid pond]

You gotta maintain it or else your fighters become useless

your as collective

[hazy radish]

...your fighters ?

yeah x)

[rapid pond]

I know you lack fighters

[hazy radish]

I swear each time you throw a notion i'm like

"we don't have this"

[rapid pond]

I am too lazy to type BG Z Y Z

[hazy radish]

what's next, PAI ?! 🤣

[rapid pond]

French… you know warmongerer you have

[fluid viper]

"we have everything but what people need us to have to win the fight"

[rapid pond]

Did you ever get them some ration pellets?

[hazy radish]

prob' not the time for that right now xD

[rapid pond]

It’s a very important thing to mutaletts

[hazy radish]

but maybe before departing yes

[rapid pond]

You can even use ‘em as means of bribery

-# Don’t ask how I know =_=”

[hazy radish]

Interesting 👀

[fluid viper]

Correction "had"

Just saw most recent Midrounds

[hazy radish]

that midround is hill mine

[rapid pond]

Yeah

[hazy radish]

not crossroads

we don't have a 2915 hex

[rapid pond]

Luckily for you that is

But why is Shack doing 2 maps at once?

[fluid viper]

Oh thank god

[rapid pond]

It’s so confusing

[fluid viper]

I thought that was Rabbit Logi going down.

[hazy radish]

yup, had to check too, that mountain form didnt remind me of crossroads :P

[fluid viper]

Of course the Mine isn't exactly an easy fight either.

2 SPGs will inflict losses on the troops there.

Especially with the elevation +1

[south ether]

well last turn shack didn't show everything during midrounds

[fluid viper]

He will likely show everyone that takes significant damage, inflicts significant damage, or dies.

[south ether]

the everyone that (almost) dies yes

inflicts significant damage maybe

[lucid vector]

Let's kill this factory Walker as soon as possible

[hazy radish]

yeah

Death to the Toasters !

[lucid vector]

Is R-flag firing this turn?

Since shack asked

[hazy radish]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

No response so no.

Unless he wakes up

[lucid vector]

Did you DM them?

[hazy radish]

pinged 'em

dm wouldn't work as y'know, stupid discord feature that "if first dm, then no notification or nothing"

just gotta wait

[lucid vector]

Oh no.. I haven't run into that issue yet. Luckily

[thorn sand]

Shoot it!

[hazy radish]

Pog !

6 reacts, lots of us lurking today.

OH FUCK I GTG TO THE GYM IN 20 MINS TOO 🤣

just looked at the time, christ

[south ether]

no no no maybe

[thorn sand]

Literally just got out of bed and decided to go through comms over lunch lol.

[south ether]

out of bed for lunch? lazy live

[fluid viper]

Lazy? He living the life

[south ether]

i am not saying he isn't
i like lazy live if i could

[hazy radish]

going to the gym, don't die in the meantime boys

(& girls)

[south ether]

eh i don't think there is flak in range atm so i reasonable sure i will live this turn

[thorn sand]

I’m not lazy! I’m a college student on summer break without a job.
The above is true, but I’m being jokingly indignant and I can’t really get that across via text.

Mind, summer break for me started May 1st, so getting out of bed at noon has taken some adjustment to get used to.

[south ether]

and i wake at 6 am to hopefully go home at 4 pm

err that is not looking to great for the amount victorium is facing

[south ether]

there goes 2/3 of victoriums fighters

[muted eagle]

Oh damn

That ain't good

[south ether]

no and victorium had 9, flufle 4? atlas 4 212 6 and 2 or 4 in other groups so that is 1/4 to 1/3 of all fighters

[iron arrow]

holy shit am i reading this right

6 fighters died in seconds?

[south ether]

yes

out of 9 fighters they had deployed

they had 3 not on evesive otherwise 1 more may have lived with an hit

[hazy radish]

Holy crap

[left thistle]

Holy shit

We got wayyy to over confident after the initial phases of this campaign 😭

[hazy radish]

Thoughts? Atlas asking if we'd need support, I know it's early, but we're the only late planners here I guess.

[hazy radish]

Remind me to make a air/hat manifesto for survival

[left thistle]

I think tbh, atlas should got help venator or maybe victorum at this point. Atlas is mostly hgms which will be invaluable against that fighter swarm

[dim plaza]

Shit. That reminds me of the scene in Independence Day where they had the first Aircombat and the display of alot of the fighters are turning red really quick.

[hazy radish]

Won't lie, I'm at the gym rn, I was curious to check the midrounds, I am saddened by the losses

[muted eagle]

Yeah, I think victorum needs the support

Venator has spearhead right behind them I believe

[south ether]

my vote would be atlas help victorium

[muted eagle]

Which I find funny because spearhead isn't infront of them

[south ether]

spearheads strike through a shieldwall

[left thistle]

At the very least I’d have them sortie their fighters out to help victorum

[south ether]

and if we loose space everywhere can be flanked

[left thistle]

But if that isnt what they’re considering. I’d have them focus their attentions on venator next round. We don’t have much enemy air at crossroads atm and red wall will eventually join us with their aa tanks so we should be okay.

And if that massive swarm of gunships heads to crossroads, they can always just sortie their fighters out to help, if willing

[south ether]

well if i read the map right 6 of those air units move to crossroads next round and the rest are still in transit

but like i said the 23 fighters with victorium is a way larger problem

[left thistle]

Yeah our tfs are a bit to spread out rn. The only reason we steamrolled through the first orbital engagement was bc we had 3 separate task forces doing drive-bys on the enemy

Us ground bgs can always dig in and play defensive for a bit, the tfs less so

[hazy radish]

Cinderella make a quick poll plz

Can't I need to finish me gym stuff but for what we think for atlas

Please 🥺

[left thistle]

On it chief

[south ether]

looks like that was probably one of the last midrounds before and results

[muted eagle]

Oh damn, that's a HAT down

Or atleast I think those are HATs

[onyx basalt]

The dead one was the other was a gunship

[rapid pond]

Domusil was a HAT

But yeah Stan was a gunship

[muted eagle]

Was anything still in the HAT? Or was it empty?

[gentle trench]

Hey, uh guys

[onyx basalt]

Empty

[gentle trench]

Before you vote to leave Crossroads

[muted eagle]

We aren't leaving crossroads

[gentle trench]

Disregard

I'm blind

[left thistle]

Yeah French said atlas was asking if we wanted their support or if they should move on

Might’ve worded the poll a little weirdly. If doesn’t make sense I can repost

[muted eagle]

Well... Still sad... But thank god it was just the one

[left thistle]

Oh honestly we’re not doing too bad in crossroads ATM

Looks like we cleared out the western half pretty good and the factory walker is down to 7

[fluid viper]

Looks like @thorn sand did 3 more damage to the walker

[gentle trench]

A zoomed in version

oops wrong file

[left thistle]

But now we have confirmation that the bot gunships are making their way to us…

[muted eagle]

@south ether Would you be able to fly me down here?

[left thistle]

Just reupping this so it doesn’t get lost lol

[fluid viper]

I think our priorities this turn should be

1. kill the Factory Walker

2. Set up defensive line (barbed Wire + trenches)

3. prepare attacks on other 3 factories

[hazy radish]

Should have made the poll less long but thanks

Heading back home haven't rezzad anything else see you soon guys

[left thistle]

Agreed. I say we push up into and fortify 3918. And work from there

[south ether]

you know the enemy air assets are moving in that direction right

[left thistle]

I’ll manually close it in 2ish hours or so

[fluid viper]

I think with 4BGs in Crossroads we should be heavily favored to be able to at least hold.

We do need to kill their AA but that may be Rabbits job.

[left thistle]

Redwall is coming in next turn and they have aa tanks

Honestly with how many aa emplacements the bots have, any help atlas’ fighters give is more likely to just kill them instead

[south ether]

hmm alright even more reason for atlas to move and suport victorium

[muted eagle]

I'm sure we'll be fine

[left thistle]

We’re better off engaging from the ground than risk losing our ever-dwindling fighters

[south ether]

i will look tomorow at the map and calc out the potentianl bot movements

[fluid viper]

We need to clear AA if we want fighter or bomber support

[left thistle]

Reupping again bc I’m not sure I can get it pinned lol

[south ether]

ask dresden?

[left thistle]

Eh, I’m planning on closing it in an hour or two anyway. This is a decision that probably needs to be made sooner rather than later

[muted eagle]

Even the dice agrees

[left thistle]

Does this flash mean that the factory walker can shoot?

[muted eagle]

Well, try drop me as close as you can without getting in too much danger

[muted eagle]

I think that's the walker's crew?

Oh, yeah

I'm blind

I think so

[left thistle]

Oh boy

Okay maybe we don’t push into 3819

[gentle trench]

Do y'all have any engis?

[muted eagle]

We have a combat engineer

[left thistle]

We have two, a regular and combat

Def need Hanzo and rose to go engage those aa guns to the east

[south ether]

inf should form up in the hex they are at? build up till we can move on, mech should try to focus down aa and arty

[gentle trench]

I'm trying to work out how to get myself fixed. I'm currently immobile, but I have a spare wheel to fix that. There are two engis in LVs next to me but it's quite an active firefight so I'm worried asking them to get out and repair me will get them killed

[left thistle]

Hmmmmmm

I’m not sure ours will be able to get to you for at least another two rounds

[gentle trench]

I mean, I can get myself moving again

[left thistle]

We can try and push up a hex to give you cover tho

[south ether]

well to much aa to drop @muted eagle there

[gentle trench]

That's not the issue. I'll use the spare wheel if I have to. I just want to fix my one hit

[muted eagle]

How many medics do you guys have down there btw?

[left thistle]

In that case, we can maybe push up to 3918 to be in position to give you cover. It’ll get dangerously close to the factory walker’s projected path but if the other inf are on board we can try

[gentle trench]

Well technically 0 atm, the 1 we do have was MIA last turn

Hopefully they get orders in

[muted eagle]

Right

[muted eagle]

How close do you think you can get without being in range of aa?

[muted eagle]

Well, I'll see if I can get down there and act as the medic for your groups instead

[south ether]

depends on if the aa in 4019 moves or not, if i can get you to about halway 3719 can i get to the back to the edge of 3718?

[solar bear]

I can push a to the front to provide cover if no one needs taxi service...

[south ether]

well 3919 only has 2 fs left and iron hammer is looking good

[solar bear]

Can go to you Rex to provide cover if you want...

[left thistle]

I think the VTOLs are going to ferry ppl so having the ifvs and inf push into 3918 to set up a defensive line between the mountains would be good

[muted eagle]

Yeah, I believe you do have just enough for that

[south ether]

so i think the risk may be worth it to push up to 3918 with inf and all and hope to knock out The Toaster and the spg and aa in 4117?

[left thistle]

Hanzo and rose should def push to deal with the guns at 4117

[south ether]

that is what my plan is for now, i will look at it better on saturday

[left thistle]

They are just isolated enough for them to go off on their own like that

[muted eagle]

And then it also allows me to get close enough to heal wounded infantry next turn

[south ether]

just need to get just back to 3718 just and is should be save from aa or the aa gets destuyed that fine to

[fluid viper]

I feel like I am building something this turn but I don't know what or where.

Or is my entire turn being spent getting closer?

[left thistle]

You probably could if a vtol picks you up

[gentle trench]

Okay Iron Hammer be advised, the two engis in the LVs next to me will be getting out and repairing me

So no need to worry about that, however, we would appreciate some cover, and that factory thing DEAD

[south ether]

so the Four mbts and the arty got in total 3 damage in on the walker?

[muted eagle]

Well, you'll have a medic down to you shortly to help out with any injured units

[tribal elbow]

Alright guys Phalanx planning will be getting started here and continue through the weekend ofc. I’m mostly going to be coordinating with Redwall but if you guys need anything planned for turn 8 or further please let us know

[left thistle]

How far are you guys planning to/capable of pushing into crossroads this turn?

[tribal elbow]

Not much at all. We are using 1 speed across all our units to get onto the map and we don’t have much in the way of transports. Those units that can move though we are going to decide where to go with Redwall

Initial plans are for Redwall to reinforce the western push with you guys and we take the north to hit those guns in the hills turn 8 and then the two factories turn 9 with everything we’ve got. Also have a bunch of infantry to keep that road to Ziyal secure

[left thistle]

Sounds good! We’ll probs have to adjust once all those gunships make it to crossroads, but hopefully red wall’s aa can handle it

[tribal elbow]

Yeah plans will have to remain fluid for the time being. What’s the general goals you have for next turn?

[left thistle]

As of now, IH isn’t planning on pushing too much further than we already have (except maybe to send our light mechs to soften those northern gun emplacements)

The factory walker is keeping us a bit bottlenecked at the moment. Once that’s gone we’ll push into the town proper

[tribal elbow]

About what I expected. No need to push when we have more units coming. Extra hits on those guns would defintiely be appreciated though

Do we know the stats of those things?

[tribal elbow]

Yep. I would imagine that’s going to draw all your fire next round for good reason

[south ether]

If the aa goes down I may be able to help lift an infantry unit up north

[tribal elbow]

Shouldn’t be necessary unless we take an attack from the rear via Ziyal. I want to be prepared for that though so it should be fine

[gentle trench]

Rabbit would appreciate as much more people in the town itself as you can get next round

[left thistle]

Sadly no

[left thistle]

We can push as far as 3819

[tribal elbow]

Rip. But a light laser damaged it last round? So we know it can’t have too crazy of armor

[left thistle]

Other than that we’d have to rush

[hazy radish]

Okay I'm back from the gym

Honnestly, I heard of some people say "casualties" i was like "oh no"

i look at the briefing

not a single FS lost

[left thistle]

Yeah I’m guessing 2 hits maybe 1 armor

[tribal elbow]

Just in time!

[hazy radish]

THATS THE FUCKING IRON HAMMER BATTLEGROUP I KNOW !!!!!!! 🔨

[left thistle]

RAHHHHHHHHH🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨

[gentle trench]

Ah dang, the inf does have 1 speed right

[hazy radish]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 🔨 🔨

[left thistle]

Yeah lol

[hazy radish]

Now, lemme catch up the messages.

[gentle trench]

Well, us LVs do need a bit of a hand in the center, our survivability relies on mobility, and we can't exactly move with 2 of our engis getting out to repair me

[tribal elbow]

Rabbit can clear most of the town infantry if you move your other mechs in from the main blob to the south

You’ve got 5 by my count?

[hazy radish]

we aren't leaving crossroads ! 🤣

[left thistle]

Well should be able to provide decent cover from a position at 3918

[gentle trench]

I did correct myself

French

[left thistle]

But we’re out of position to push further sadly

[hazy radish]

good

[gentle trench]

Ah you mean the group in 4121 right now?

[tribal elbow]

Yeah

Is that another BG?

[gentle trench]

Nope that's us

I'm unsure their plans

We will have Pygmy and Lop though, definitely coming in from 3919

[hazy radish]

Okay, caught up!

[tribal elbow]

Yeah I would check in with them. They can tank hits with evasive for you and maybe lay down some damage as well. The walker likely won’t target you at all

[gentle trench]

And T-Rex and Sparrow will take a bit of time to get back up here after their scout

[hazy radish]

I read diagonnally, so we're throwing plans around, right.

@gentle trench while you're here how... how's rabbit feeling ?

[gentle trench]

Like I said very briefly above, we need some cover. Two engis are getting out of EBR105 and Bunny1 to repair me this turn, they won't be able to get back in if those 2 LVs go evasive

[tribal elbow]

Considering everything it’s really not that terrible of a position. We have plenty of units to swarm the area still and I think IH can kill the walker if they just dump everything they have into it

[hazy radish]

who's "me"

callsign

please :D

[tribal elbow]

Thunder lmao

[hazy radish]

Thanks

[tribal elbow]

Immobile

[hazy radish]

Hm, so are we on factory walker killing duty ?

[gentle trench]

I've asked them in our thread, though I suspect they may be wanting to to flank more towards the east area (attached photo)

[tribal elbow]

That’s what I’ve been told so far. Makes sense given the fact you guys have the firepower and speed to do it

[hazy radish]

I'm honnestly considering sweeping north to catch thoses 2 fuckos in 4117...

[gentle trench]

forgot my callsign wasn't in my nickname anymore

[fluid viper]

I think that is a job for Rose and Hanzo

[hazy radish]

that is a RAILGUN cannon

[gentle trench]

so?

[fluid viper]

Light Mechs go brrr

[tribal elbow]

That’ll be Phalanx’s turn 7 or 8 objective and then also your two LM’s up there already

We have it covered

[south ether]

I dont think we should focus on things past the factory's yet

[gentle trench]

Pretty sure they're what damaged the AA there already

[ivory goblet]

i think if we take 4117 we can use that hill as a killbox for the town

[hazy radish]

oh damn, evasive good shots.

remind me, how many hours before orders hit ?

48hrs this time ?

[tribal elbow]

Phalanx Blue, Redwall Red. These are our general plans right now

[south ether]

Yea that aa is almost gone

[fluid viper]

I think over focusing on the factory may be a mistake.

There is a ton of fire power across the map

[gentle trench]

48 hours and 51 minutes from current time

[fluid viper]

Do you have speed to get that far in a turn?

[hazy radish]

happy tac-com noises

[south ether]

No i mean the three central factorys

[hazy radish]

That too yes.

[tribal elbow]

We will have to do the math on rush orders to reach the guns. Otherwise guaranteed turn 8 kill and turn 9 kills on the factories if they aren’t super tough for some reason

[hazy radish]

Okay so hold on, what are our options so far in iron hammer ?

1. kill factory walker & support rabbit
2. sweep north to catch some fuckers by surprise
3. do both ???

are there any other options i'm not seeing ?

[south ether]

3

[hazy radish]

i'm just speaking, BROAD, ROUGH plans

OH WAIT

WE ALSO HAVE IFV FIREPOWER AFTER THIS

BECAUSE THEYRE NOT RUSHING NO MORE

LAUGHS IN IRON HAMMER

[tribal elbow]

Yeah the best we have right now is extremely rough plans and intentions

[hazy radish]

It seems the factory walker can only fire once aswell...

[fluid viper]

The walker is 12 hits. I assume the ground factories are similar without demo charges

[hazy radish]

I'm betting on 1d6 AP for it's damage, but cannot be sure for certain.

[fluid viper]

I would think an HMG for self defense

[tribal elbow]

Idk I am assuming slightly less but we have no way of knowing. We have a good amount of fire though to concentrate on them after the guns are dead

[hazy radish]

We could all do a giant commit onto 3918.

infantry gets in

mbt for support

IFVs aswell

arty shot

kill that factory walker dead

[south ether]

Yes so arty ifvs 4 infantry to kill walker and 2fs, 4 mbt 2 mech for guns/ rabbit support rabbit moves around and start harassing the other aa guns/factory's and shovel and 212 defence and wiping enemy air assets?

[hazy radish]

Or, think we got enough guns that we can kill it without committing literally everything.

[tribal elbow]

I like that idea a lot. Just put it down as soon as we have a chance

[hazy radish]

We got 6 AP guns, 5 normal guns, only counting Iron Hammer and excluding the last remaining infantry in 3918

[tribal elbow]

You can divert some LV’s or LM’s to the north guns if you want without sacrificing much damage on the walker

[hazy radish]

Honnestly? I'm more then willing to go ALL IN on the factory walker just to get it out of the way 🤣

also, thoses are factory not walkers... gulps

[tribal elbow]

Rabbit can focus on the smaller units inside the town harassing their vehicles

[hazy radish]

I'm honnestly thinking rabbit should back up to defend the logi

But that is not our decision to make.

[gentle trench]

We can't really, since 2 engis would be left hanging in the middle of the town after I'm repaired

[tribal elbow]

I’m not too worried about them really. Rex will handle it and I made the suggestion to him already to bring up

[hazy radish]

SO, do we have any other broad stroak ideas before I make a poll out of this ?

[solar bear]

@hazy radish I was thinking in pushing to rabbit to help then...

[hazy radish]

(funny to see the organization for the map being in this comms lol)

[solar bear]

I would love some backup...

[hazy radish]

like in 3918 ?

[tribal elbow]

You guys are the spearhead😂

[south ether]

Thus should keep most bots in check/dead

No, we are hamner

[feral ivy]

I like both

[hazy radish]

If Iron Hammer is going to push """south"""" to kill the factory walker, would phalanx be willing to go east with their mechanized ? @tribal elbow

[gentle trench]

I think what I'm going to do is once I'm repaired, gun it north to 4116, and we'll see what I hit on the way

[tribal elbow]

Phalanx right now is planning on heading east and hitting that north side with everything we have as soon as we can

[solar bear]

End of 3918... Closer to @gentle trench to protect their engi...

[rigid oar]

That seems like the best coures of action. Especially with the extra large aircraft coming in.

[fluid viper]

Rabbit is already investing a lot on it too

[tribal elbow]

Like I said, am still very unsure if we can neutralize the guns this turn but we will for sure try

[feral ivy]

If we push through the mountains, we could surround the bots and get a cheeky little crossfire going on

[hazy radish]

sounds like a plan then

[tribal elbow]

Phalanx will be your pincer

[hazy radish]

you guys go east we go south ?

I mean, if everyone in IH is okay with that too

[tribal elbow]

Yep follow the red and blue arrows

[hazy radish]

...just incase imma fire up a poll

confirm what people think 👀

[tribal elbow]

When will you learn that democracy is not always the solution😂

Nah jkjk

[rigid oar]

So by south you mean going through 3918? Or even farther south then that?

[feral ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/impeachment-love-democracy-i-love-democracy-gif-15723806

[south ether]

I think 3918 would be nice

[fluid viper]

(Idk I just don't want to walk from the border)

[feral ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-por-que-no-los-dos-yey-gif-15089379

[hazy radish]

I mean, Phalanx are planning to go east aswell

[hazy radish]

3918, south-east

[feral ivy]

Cmon it'll be good exercise for ya

[fluid viper]

I will do nothing for the rest of this campaign walking after you lol

[feral ivy]

But the gains

[fluid viper]

I will start building sand castles at a certain point.

Just random sandbags on the road

[feral ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/legday-sponge-bob-thigh-gif-14191835

[hazy radish]

Alright. stretches
Imma get pinging aswell.

[left thistle]

Also planning on pushing to 3918 and occupying buildings again this turn

[iron arrow]

i have another suicidal aggressive plan but i need big ear's blessing and help from a good few people bc there would be a factory walkers squad(s?) and 3 to 6 others

[fluid viper]

If you pick me up I will join

I like building fight cages

[left thistle]

While on the topic of polls

#1383066706724913293 message

[iron arrow]

oh and theres those flying things too

[left thistle]

Gonna close this in 30mins

[south ether]

So crossroads looks not to bad, same for hill mine except fluffle, c-z hmm err, victorium has me worried

[left thistle]

Bonjour my fellow hammerers ! 🔨

Orders are due in around 48 hours from when this message has been posted, aka on <t:1752444000:F> (<t:1752444000:R>)

So far:

• We have entered in crossroads without suffering a single casualty. Good job hammers ! 🔨
• Rabbit has gotten themselves in a slight pickle.
• There's a 12 hits monster called the factory walker in south-east of us.

Now, what is the plan ? As usual, I DONT KNOW MAN.
For now, Phalanx (our reinforcements), plans to go east when they arrive.
Rabbit wants to hold the line and repair.
Unknown for 212th logi & flying shovels their plans, but most likely defend against the air threat.

I have fired up a poll #1383066706724913293 message that'll expire in 8 hours about "watarewedoing", and from then on we'll be able to more thourougly plan what we wanna do :P

Don't forget to often check the pins !

[iron arrow]

of them or?

[hazy radish]

Apologies for butting in, as usual, I am awakening everyone in Iron Hammer. :D

[left thistle]

More of the bot gunships

[hazy radish]

up !

[feral ivy]

What's the plan for the tanks?

[iron arrow]

and people think atlas should leave?

[thorn sand]

I know I sent a message in tac coms but I’d like to know if I actually fired for supply reasons.

[hazy radish]

shrugs

[rough granite]

how does tanks to 4017 sound

[hazy radish]

Not from what I can see, you don't have a firing icon.

I've sent a msg in tac-com.

[left thistle]

There are still a lot of aa guns in the area, we’re just as likely to lose fighters than actually kill theirs

[odd lake]

I WAS SUMMONED! WHO REQUIRES SNACCS?

[left thistle]

We’re much better off relying on redwall’s aa tanks until we can clear those guns

[hazy radish]

sound dangerous

tanks to 3917 sound good imo

[feral ivy]

What isnt?

[hazy radish]

in distance of factory walker, in distance of annoying boys in 4117

[south ether]

Tanks preferably to somewhere that covers walker and north guns

[left thistle]

Yeah I would be careful of pushing up too far this turn if you can go evasive

[hazy radish]

Please remind me for next tac-map to properly note for upgrades & refits.

[south ether]

No

[left thistle]

We need the cover against the soon to arrive bot gunships

[hazy radish]

Exept for HFLS' combat engis, it seems ifvs don't have their autocannons, and ajax has an added clone :P

[iron arrow]

how about tanks to 4018?

[rigid oar]

Do you think we should dig in instead of moving up?

[iron arrow]

put that armour to good use

[hazy radish]

Are you INSANE ?! 🤣

there's ennemies left right and center, you want us to get flanked and die here ? xD

[rough granite]

so eny ideas for me and hanzo

[feral ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/gravewalker-nuncamorto-coringando-dafoe-willem-dafoe-gif-18185510239881759990

[left thistle]

I would say push to 3918… rabbit needs some cover

[iron arrow]

...some might say so

[hazy radish]

looks right

you got some arty & AA to fire uppon it seems

[left thistle]

And we don’t want to be crowding the entry once phalanx and redwall arrive

[south ether]

4017 you can reach

[hazy radish]

okay, i'm gonna close the poll

[left thistle]

Oh wait

[hazy radish]

I think it's pretty clear we're gonna do both north & factory walker killing lol

[left thistle]

Now that ppl are here

[hazy radish]

seeing from the planning

[left thistle]

#1383066706724913293 message

Plz do this poll too. Want to get the input to Atlas ASAP

[left thistle]

Def the guns to your east

[rough granite]

that does mean losing evashon

[left thistle]

Not necessarily

[rigid oar]

Yeah thats was what i was leaning towards too

[rough granite]

how so

[left thistle]

you’d need to move past the guns to keep up the minimum distance requirement, but you can still keep in evasive

[tribal elbow]

Yeah if you guys want to keep scouting just push east of the guns in evasive and shoot at them as you pass. Phalanx will clean them up next turn anyways so don’t worry too much

[hazy radish]

You can fire while in evasion, that's how that AA got damaged most likely

[rough granite]

so 1216-7

[hazy radish]

seeing your position you could just still advance or hold to forgoe defence and bring more fire uppon theses lads

do as you wish

[left thistle]

Probably? What’s your max speed? You need to use at least half of it to stay in evasive

[rough granite]

i mean 4216-7

[hazy radish]

hm

you could do that 🤔

that would leave you kinda stranded far tho I recon

[feral ivy]

doesnt appear to be too many enemies from what i could see

[hazy radish]

I think infantry in 3918 and IFVs behind/in front seems like a no brainer imo

As for tanks ? Less sure about where.

[rough granite]

4

[hazy radish]

I'm happy with 3917 as that keep our range's advantage and we can fire on both 4117 & The Toaster

[ivory goblet]

what would you like vtols to do for this round

[feral ivy]

once the fixed gun in the mountain is dealt with, the tanks could move up along the hills around the city

[tribal elbow]

Not die to the AA please😅

[left thistle]

For now. The factories are going to start printing units and we already have a reinforcement wave of gunships coming from c-z… who knows what they going to send from ziyal and haydar

[hazy radish]

We got Husky & Medtac1 in 3715 waiting for transport.

I'm unsure if they already got transport, but that would be really good to get both of them on the frontline.

[left thistle]

Then yeah where you are looking would be far enough to keep in evasive

[ivory goblet]

roger that

[hazy radish]

Medtac1 being a medic, and Husky being an engineer

@eager carbon <- Medtac1, the medic
@fluid viper <- Husky, our engi

You are getting pinged to organize transport with @ivory goblet.

Get pinged >:)

Seriously don't hesitate to ping people for coordination & transport 👀

[ivory goblet]

mayve we should set up a forward medical spot for when this gets ugly

[left thistle]

Yes for logi:
r-flag needs a small supp
Husky needs to be picked up
And the med corp needs a pick up

[fluid viper]

Hi

[left thistle]

A forward medical center would honestly be perfect

[iron arrow]

oh infantry going to 3918and engineers fortifying thee shit out of it would be nice

[left thistle]

Yeah. Would serve us well for the next 2 rounds and after that it would make a great med station to bring wounded back to

[ivory goblet]

need a ride

[hazy radish]

throws a map

[feral ivy]

Having this location being a future base would be quite beneficial. The area is a decent area plus easy access to other zones

[hazy radish]

Note the question marks.
